This is a fork from https://github.com/info-beamer/package-python3 for info-beamer which is created by Florian Wesch. The changes are just to use Python 3.11 instead of Python 3.7. Download of deb Packages tested on a Raspberry Pi with Raspbian (Debian Bookworm).

This package bundles a Python3 runtime into a overlay.squashfs file. info-beamer OS will detect this file and mount it as an overlay into the package service's filesystem. This makes Python3.11 available for use in your service.

The first time python3 is invoked it will precompile some python modules and save the result in the package's scratch directory.

1. Copy overlay.squashfs into your package.
2. Invoke python3 as your package service's interpreter.

The included build-overlay and Makefile can be used to create the included overlay.squashfs. Right now this packages uses Raspbian OS (bookworm) packages instead of building its own binaries. Place the following files from the Raspbian deb archive into the directory debs, for example by using apt-get download. Make sure to download 32bit Arm (armhf) if your Download RaspberryPi runs on 64bit OS:

libpython3.11-minimal_3.11.2-6+deb12u3_armhf.deb
libpython3.11-stdlib_3.11.2-6+deb12u3_armhf.deb
libpython3-stdlib_3.11.2-1+b1_armhf.deb
python3.11_3.11.2-6+deb12u3_armhf.deb
python3.11-minimal_3.11.2-6+deb12u3_armhf.deb
python3_3.11.2-1+b1_armhf.deb
python3-certifi_2022.9.24-1_all.deb
python3-chardet_5.1.0+dfsg-2_all.deb
python3-idna_3.3-1+deb12u1_all.deb
python3-pkg-resources_66.1.1-1_all.deb
python3-pyinotify_0.9.6-2_all.deb
python3-requests_2.28.1+dfsg-1_all.deb
python3-six_1.16.0-4_all.deb
python3-tz_2022.7.1-4_all.deb
python3-urllib3_1.26.12-1_all.deb

The packages are listed in debs/download.txt. You can download them all at once with cat download.txt | xargs apt download.

Then invoke make clean (remove the existing overlay.squashfs so make will create the overlay folder with data for the copyright) and make and you'll end up with a new version of overlay.squashfs.
